Title: Cart Widget Busted Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Cart Widget Busted * Resolved [bionary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bionary/) * (@bionary) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-widget-busted/) * I have several sites running wp4.3 with genesis theme. All my clients contacted me to say that their cart was busted. * **Yep, sure enough the widget called “WP Paypal Shopping Cart” that I had sitting in my sidebar no longer works.** * Are you guys aware of this? I believe it happened with my last upgrade (cart 4.1.3) I believe? * Note to anyone whom requires an immediate fix: the cart shortcode: [show_wp_shopping_cart] still works. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-widget-busted/#post-6543897) * Hi, yes the developers are aware of the issue. It is a bug in WordPress 4.3. The fix will come out in WordPress next release 4.3.1. In the meanwhile these are the [instructions ](https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/adding-shopping-cart-to-the-sidebar-of-wordpress-site-3073) the developers published. * Thread Starter [bionary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bionary/) * (@bionary) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-widget-busted/#post-6543937) * Yep, that’s the solution I arrived at too!

I then clicked on the PayPal button and it took me to PayPal for payment which of course I did not make 🙂 * I then went back to your website and deleted the order and that cleared the shopping cart. So I can confirm that it did work for me. * [yanmaisee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yanmaisee/) * (@yanmaisee) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-widget-busted/#post-6544113) * i have solved part of the issue. i was running a redirect page that came up with a form made in contact form 7 after add to cart. as soon as i removed this redirect page the cart appears.i can get the cart and form to appear in a widget on side bar but not on a redirect page at all.
